Weather System Update
A trough extending from a cyclonic circulation over central Pakistan to northeast Madhya Pradesh, crossing through north Rajasthan and north Madhya Pradesh at around 0.9 km above mean sea level, is contributing to the unstable weather conditions.
In addition, a low-pressure area is likely to develop over the west-central and adjoining north Bay of Bengal around May 27. It is expected to intensify over the following two days, potentially impacting regional weather further.
People are urged to follow updates from the meteorological department and exercise caution during thunderstorms, especially in open areas or near trees and electrical infrastructure.
